AFFORDABLE Leech Lake Access Home. Welcome to a truly special property in the charming Wedgewood Estates community—where nature, comfort, and lake life come together. Just minutes from the picturesque town of Walker and walking distance to a 9-hole golf course, this affordable “stick-built” Leech Lake access home offers more than just a place to live. It offers a lifestyle. Enjoy direct access to Leech Lake via a designated 28-foot boat slip area, ideal for a dock and two boats, in a protected association harbor—all without the high taxes of lakeshore property. Getting to the lake is half the fun, thanks to a charming association-maintained path that adjoins the property, complete with a quaint bridge you can cross with your golf cart, making every trip to the water feel like an adventure. Inside, the home offers single-level living with an open-concept layout that’s both inviting and functional. The main floor master bedroom includes a walk-in closet, while a second bedroom on the main level adds flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. A full bathroom with a jetted tub and a separate three-quarter bath provide convenience and comfort. The unfinished lower level features an egress window, offering the opportunity to easily add a third bedroom if desired—and the septic system is already designed for three bedrooms, making expansion simple. Additional features include a gas fireplace in the living room, upgraded windows throughout, a kitchen with center island, washer/dryer hookups on both levels, a spacious 24' x 24' attached garage, utility shed, low-maintenance siding, and paved roads and driveway for easy year-round access. But the magic truly begins in the backyard. Lovingly cultivated over the past 23 years, the park-like grounds feel like something out of a storybook. Mature apple, plum, and pear trees (the pear just needs a mate!), vibrant perennial gardens, and lush green spaces create a setting that’s as peaceful as it is inspiring. Scattered throughout the property are whimsical little treasures—stone paths, flower boxes, cheerful frogs, hidden fairies, and thoughtful touches that add a sense of discovery and joy to every stroll. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning on the large, inviting deck or wandering through the gardens, this .7-acre lot offers serenity and delight at every turn. A charming shed tucked into the landscape is currently used as a potting space but could easily become a cozy she-shed, artist's studio, man-cave or even a child’s play house—yet another opportunity for creativity and retreat. Best of all, you’re only one-tenth of a mile from the paved Heartland Trail, offering four-season fun including biking, hiking, and snowmobiling. Combine that with Leech Lake access, golf right next door, and the town of Walker just minutes away, and you’ve found a rare and wonderful blend of comfort, convenience, and adventure.
